In recent days, Zinedine Zidane has grabbed the headlines by announcing his imminent return to training. The iconic Frenchman offered no clues about his next destination, but insisted that his return is getting closer.
The 50-year-old has been on a hiatus after finishing his second term at Real Madrid. It turned out to be a decent spell, but he fell short of his initial tenure with Los Merengues, which saw him win the Champions League three times in a row.
Naturally, the Juventus fans were one of the most interested parties in Zizou’s statement. The Bianconeri fans are far from satisfied with the team’s current results and performances under the tutelage of Max Allegri, and a wide sector believes that Zidane could be the ultimate savior.
The former midfielder established himself as arguably the best player in the world during his time in Turin between 1996 and 2001.
However, his former France and Juventus team-mate Thierry Henry believes he is more likely to join the French national team.
“Zidane’s name has been linked to several clubs, but none of these rumors have materialized,” the Arsenal legend said in an interview with CBS Golazo via Calciomercato.
“I don’t think Zizou wants to do such a thing. He would make more sense to become the technical commissioner of France”.
